ZLM7 ultimate how-to

I’ve been flooded with requests for a more detailed ZENworks 7 Linux Management document – something like what I wrote for ZLM 6.6.1

I’m on it now. I am installing to a fresh, new SLES 9 server – and hopefully I’ll get something out soon.

Current fun – documenting the server-side dependancies. XFree86-libs? wtf? Turns out some of the eDirectory management tools have funky requirements. Do people really build servers with X and a desktop on them?

La Sagrada Familia

I managed to get some time out from BrainShare last week. I spent a few hours with John Mahon from Dublin at the Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Familia. More simply the cathedral of La Sagrada Familia.

For anyone who has ever been to Barcelona – or even heard of Barcelona – it is one of the most striking sights in the city. Totally dominating the skyline from every part of the city. Add to this the story of how this massive cathedral has been under construction for over a century; with still decades to completion.

Victorinox bag

I posted a week or so ago on a new bag that I bought for travelling.

Well – a trip to BrainShare Barcelona was too much for it. The pull handle fell to pieces (sharp plastic, metal, springs all over the place) and the ballistic nylon in the day sack got punctured.

Happily everything was covered under warranty; also I got the back from REI who have the most awesome service. They took the old bag and instantly exchanged it for new.

I’ll post photos of the damage soon.

Heading back home

Well – BrainShare Barcelona is over for another year. I’m just now collating the feedback from this week. Overall a very very positive event.

I’m getting on a plane this morning to head back to Utah – Barcelona -> London Heathrow -> Chicago -> Salt Lake City.

It’s an early start (urg – up at 5am!) – but at least I’ll be back in Utah early evening.

I’ll post the final photos and keynote reports sometime early next week.

BrainShare Barcelona – day 3 – Wednesday 14th September

My second day of back to back meetings and presentations.

TUT 317 – ZENworks Linux Management best practices and TUT 315 – ZENworks Patch Management best practices

Lots of time preparing for the Thursday keynote. Just sitting back stage – and there are some incredible demos in store.
